Burton Albion are into the business end of their pre-season preparations as they take on League One's Shrewsbury Town at New Meadow this afternoon.

The Brewers have only two friendlies left ahead of their Championship curtain-raiser next Saturday, with today's test followed up by Tuesday night's visit to the Pirelli Stadium of Leicester City.

We are expecting a full-strength side today, with Nigel Clough suggesting in midweek that this would be the final full run our for his side before the Cardiff City game.

Albion will be hoping to notch their first win of pre-season against the Shrews against League opposition, having so far come unstuck against AFC Wimbledon and West Bromwich Albion, suffering 3-0 and 1-0 losses respectively.
